James B. Jordan on Ephesians
WordMP3 / James B. Jordan / Studies in Ephesians
It is simply a travesty that the name “Paul” for most people, summons up a pastiche of Romans and Galatians while the other letters are relatively neglected. Ephesians 2.8-10 might make the cut but not much else.
I say it is a travesty because the evidence indicates that Ephesians was probably Paul’s generic tract–a circular letter meant to summarize the Gospel for any Christian in particular rather than an ad hoc letter dealing with a specific pastoral agenda for a particular church. Thus, if one wants to understand the foundations of “Pauline Theology,” Ephesians would be the natural place to begin.
Jim Jordan’s Sunday School lessons are amazing. They give the listener the background he needs to understand Paul’s thought world that explains how he wrote. If you want to see a basic summary of the Christian Faith from an inspired source explained through a knowledgeable and godly teacher, these eleven lectures will be valuable.
Get the lectures. You will appreciate them.
